Abstract:

To understand mechanism of arc-tooth-shaped corona discharge field (ATSCDF) on improving corn seed vigor, three samples of two hybrids, Nongda 108 and Jinbei 288, were used to study influences of seed moisture content and seed vigor after ATSCDF treatment. The optimized electric field strength and treatment time changed with seed moisture content. The longer treatment time and the greater varied the field strength became. Percentage of seed germination of middle and low vigor seeds could be increased by from 12% to 24%, of which vigor index was increased by from 28%-51%. The optimal treatment condition of ATSCDF was about 350 kV/m and 5.6min under normal moisture content. The six physiological indexes of seeds treated under optimal conditions, which were the electrical conductivity, the activities of amylase, dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), peroxidase(POD) and catalase(CAT), were tested and compared with control. The activities of amylase, dehydrogenase, SOD, POD, and CAT increased significantly compared with the control for seeds of different vigor, and the electrical conductivity decreased significantly to the control. It was cleared that seed vigor could be actively increased by the treatment of ATSCDF under optimal condition, because of improvement of activities of many kinds of metabolic enzymes and protective enzymes, and of capability of repairing cell membrane.
